ikandar Masood Qazi

July 22, 2017

This week the Panama case entered its last, and possibly decisive round. On May 16, 2016, the PM had unequivocally stated in the National Assembly (NA) that a complete record of all his sources of income and assets was available, these have neither been provided to the JIT or the SC. While Justice Ejaz Afzal reminded the Sharif counsels, “We have been waiting for the money trail and the sources of income [to be revealed] since day one”, Justice Ijazul Ahsan reminded them, “You have taken the burden of proof upon yourself.” Nawaz Sharif’s vow to resign in a nationally televised address on April 22 even if one iota of guilt was attributed to him seems to have been conveniently forgotten. The Sharifs’ survival politically relies on hanging on to power at all costs.
